  • The Volcanic Region of Auvergne
    THE VOLCANIC REGION OF AUVERGNE. By CANON T. G. BOKNEY, D.Se., LL.D.. F.R.S., etc., late Professor of Geology in University College, London. (Read July stll, 190L) UVERGNE, SO far as my experience goes, is the most A interesting region in France, if not in Europe. It can teach the geological student more about the natural history of volcanoes than the Eifel, or even than the neighbourhood of Naples, though not a single vent is now in action. Impressive as Vesuvius must be during an eruption, we have then to con­ template it from a respectful distance, so that, although I would gladly have witnessed this, I probably learnt more from being able to stand on the crater rim. Auvergne offers to our examination a wonderful series of preparations, the handiwork of nature, illustrative of the anatomy of a volcano, from crater-cones as perfect as that of Monte Nuovo to ruins as complete as those on the Fifeshire coast. These will principally attract your attention during your visit, but they do not exhaust the geological interests of the region. The volcanic cones rise from a great upland plateau-a huge insular mass of ancient, and to a large extent, crystalline rocks­ surrounded by Secondary and later strata. Depressions in this plateau were occupied towards the middle of the Tertiary era by extensive lakes, which were gradually filled up by beds of sand­ stone, marls and freshwater limestones, the earlier of which are contemporaneous with the Headon, Bembridge and Hamstead beds of our country. You will frequently come across sections of them, especially on the western flank of the broad valley of the Allier, sealed up sometimes under sheets of basalt.

  • 2010 Romanesque Confererence Abstracts
    ROMANESQUE AND THE PAST ABSTRACTS John McNeill An Introduction to 11th and 12th-Century Attitudes to the Past One of the questions the conference is implicitly posing is whether there is a discernably Romanesque sense of the Past - an attitude or set of approaches to the past different to that of, say, the fourteenth century - or the fourth? And whether there is any consistency in the way this might be expressed - both across media - and across regions. By way of an introduction this paper will largely concentrate on architecture, and look at the ways in which spolia - material fragments of the past - were reused. It will suggest that the allusive capacity of spolia was important in certain areas of Europe in creating an architecture which attempted to emulate the architecture of Late Antiquity, particularly in the second half of the 11th century, though for the most part spolia was used for very specific and local reasons. It will conclude with a very brief consideration of emulation and architectural referentiality. Eric Fernie The Concept of the Romanesque The Romanesque style is one of the most loosely defined and controversial of art historical periods. The paper will assess the case against it and then that for it, concentrating on architecture and examining in particular when it is supposed to have begun, how it related to the political units of the time, and how it is used in conjunction with other period labels. The presentation concludes with an assessment of the origins of the Romanesque in a broad historical context. Richard Gem St Peter’s Basilica in Rome c.1024-1159: a model for emulation? The aim of this contribution is to evaluate the possible role of the ancient basilica of St Peter in Rome as a model for architectural design and for religious practice in Europe between the second quarter of the eleventh century and the middle of the twelfth (from Pope John XIX to Pope Hadrian IV).

    Faire du Pays d'Issoire Val d'Allier Sud un lieu de coordination des besoins 2 des populations et des politiques en matière d'habitat, d'urbanisme et de services. 27 28 Un capital jeunesse à assumer et 2-1 prochainement à reloger 29 Diagnostic Un dynamisme démographique renforcé, soutenu par les migrations. Au 1 er janvier 2005, la population du SCoT d'Issoire-Val d'Allier Sud est estimée à 51 600 habitants, soit 3100 de plus qu'en 1999. Il est ainsi l'un des territoires auvergnats les plus dynamiques sur le plan démographique avec le pays de la Jeune Loire et ses rivières qui détient le record de croissance (+1,4 % / an en moyenne). Cette croissance démographique s'est fortement accélérée depuis 1999 avec un taux de variation annuel moyen de 1,1 % sur la période 1999-2005, soit huit fois plus important que sur la période 1990-1999. Fort de sa position géographique stratégique (au coeur du vaste couloir Vichy-Clermont-Brioude), et de l'existence d'une offre foncière encore abordable, le pays d'Issoire attire de nombreux ménages qui aspirent à habiter à la fois dans un cadre rural et à proximité des centres urbains. C'est cette forte attractivité résidentielle et les migrations qu'elle génère qui explique la croissance démographique que connaît le pays depuis les années 1990. Ainsi, sur la période 1999-2005, le solde Croissance annuelle moyenne de la population annuel des entrées et des sorties (représenté Effectifs dans le Scot d'Issoire 550 Variation annuelle moyenne : +512 en bleu sur le graphique) se traduit en 500 due au mouvement naturel moyenne par un gain de 500 habitants, soit 4 450 due au solde migratoire globale 400 fois plus que celui observé sur la période 350 1990-1999.

  • Saint-Nectaire – Inventaire Du Patrimoine Thermal – Route Des Villes D’Eaux Du Massif Central
    Saint-Nectaire – Inventaire du patrimoine thermal – Route des Villes d’Eaux du Massif Central Remerciements Nous tenons à remercier tout particulièrement les personnes qui ont contribué à la réalisation de cet Inventaire : celles qui nous ont reçus lors des visites de terrain (directeurs d’Office de Tourisme, guides, élus, bénévoles d’Association…), celles qui nous ont conseillés et informés par téléphone. Nous souhaitons aussi y associer les personnes qui nous ont aidés à finaliser ces dossiers. 1 Saint-Nectaire – Inventaire du patrimoine thermal – Route des Villes d’Eaux du Massif Central Préambule Une des finalités de la Route des Villes d’Eaux consistant à changer l’image parfois trop médicalisée des stations, il a été décidé de s’appuyer sur l’identité historique et architecturale que constitue le patrimoine thermal, pour lancer des nouveaux projets de développement. Pour parvenir à une valorisation du caractère patrimonial des villes d’eaux, il fallait avant toute chose connaître l’état du patrimoine thermal dans chacune des 17 stations. La décision de dresser un Inventaire du patrimoine thermal à l’échelle du réseau de la Route des Villes d’Eaux a été prise suite aux Journées Techniques d’Octobre 2008, qui se sont tenues à Néris-les-Bains. Lors de ces Journées, il a été constaté un réel manque de connaissance du patrimoine thermal du réseau Route des Villes d’Eaux, en interne. Pour pallier cette lacune, il a été jugé nécessaire de recenser le patrimoine thermal existant à l’échelle du réseau, dans un délai imparti de 4 mois. Par patrimoine thermal, on entend tous les éléments qui ont un lien avec l’activité thermale, qu’il s’agisse des témoignages bâtis (monuments, architecture, décoration…) ou immatériels (histoire, personnes ayant marqué la station, iconographie…).

"The Massif du Sancy alone forms a world: a world born several million years ago". François Graveline. FIRST VOLCANIC PHASE It began 20 million years ago, in the Miocene (tertiary era). Almost all types of current volcanoes have succeeded one another, which is what gives it its strato-volcano type structure. The Massif du Sancy is the most complex volcanic region of the Massif Central, it also has the greatest diversity of sites. There is such a close connection between the topography and the geological constitution, that one can not understand one without the other.
